Abstract

Background: Hydrocephalus is a condition characterized by an abnormal accumulation of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), leading to increased intracranial pressure and neurological deterioration. CSF shunting remains the primary treatment, though complications such as infection and shunt failure present significant challenges. Rehabilitation is crucial for optimizing functional recovery 
and improving patient quality of life.
